The United Nations (UN) has called on governments around the world to use artificial intelligence (AI) and new technology to curb corruption and break its links with financial and organized crime.
This was discussed at the 11th Session of UNCAC (CoSP11) held in Doha, Qatar, where it was discussed how AI can help in tackling today's more complex types of crime. According to John Brandolino of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, corrupt people are using technology to hide money, falsify documents, and evade the law in various countries.
However, he also said that technology can be a powerful weapon against corruption, especially in investigation, as long as there is respect for human rights. As a member of UNCAC, the Philippines has the duty to punish corruption, strengthen prevention, cooperate with other countries, and recover stolen wealth.
